Join a Leading International Wealth Management Firm

Our client, a respected international wealth management firm with an established global presence, is expanding across the Middle East and is seeking experienced Independent Financial Advisers to join its growing advisory team in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia.

The role offers the opportunity to build a thriving advisory business while benefiting from an established international platform, comprehensive operational support and access to a broad range of sophisticated wealth management solutions.

Advisers with an existing client portfolio or transferable relationships are highly desirable, although this is preferred rather than essential. Strong business development skills and the ability to establish long-term client relationships are equally valued.

This is a relationship-driven advisory role where professionalism, integrity and exceptional client service are at the heart of everything you do.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain long-term relationships with expatriate and high-net-worth clients.
• Conduct comprehensive financial reviews to understand each client's objectives and financial circumstances.
• Design and implement bespoke financial planning strategies.
• Provide ongoing portfolio reviews and adapt financial plans as clients' needs evolve.
• Develop new business through referrals, networking and professional relationship building.
• Deliver advice in line with regulatory and compliance standards.
• Stay informed on global markets, investment opportunities and financial planning legislation.
• Maintain the highest standards of ethics, professionalism and client care.

Candidate Requirements

Our client is seeking ambitious advisers who can demonstrate:

• A minimum of 3 years' experience as a Financial Adviser, Wealth Manager or Financial Planner.
• Experience advising expatriate or internationally mobile clients is highly advantageous.
• Level 4 Diploma (or equivalent) is preferred, or candidates should be committed to achieving this industry benchmark.
• A proven history of delivering high-quality holistic financial advice.
• Strong business development and relationship management skills.
• Excellent communication, presentation and interpersonal abilities.
• High levels of professionalism, integrity and commercial awareness.
• Strong IT skills and experience using CRM and financial planning systems.
• Fluent spoken and written business English.
• An existing client portfolio or transferable assets under management (AUM) would be advantageous but are not essential.

What's on Offer

• Various remuneration packages available, tailored to your experience, professional qualifications and assets under management (AUM).
• Highly competitive earning potential.
• Access to a respected international wealth management platform.
• Comprehensive compliance, paraplanning, administration and operational support.
• Market-leading technology and financial planning infrastructure.
• Ongoing professional development and career progression.
